Trion to Add Prime: Omega PTS as Early as Today

If you're a Rift Prime player who's dying to try new things out before they hit the live Prime server, you'll be pleased to hear that Trion is adding a public test server in the near future. According to the post on the Rift site, the plan is to release the Prime: Omega sometime today. The team will update "forums and socials when it spins up".

So, what's the difference?

“Omega” runs on a Prime config and will have a test build of unreleased Prime changes on it.

“PTS” runs on a Live config with access to all Live classes/levels/abilities.

We plan to set up boost NPCs on Omega to allow characters set level and gear (unlike Live’s PTS, you can’t copy a Prime character to Omega at this time)

The main purpose of Omega is to make soul balance changes visible on the Prime configuration before publish.

It is important to mention that many of these changes will apply to both Live and Prime, where Prime is a subset of Live.
